She's earned an array of brilliant nicknames throughout her career: from Joan of Arc of the Ocean, Hero for the Planet, and best of all, “Her Deepness”. Sylvia Earle is a renowned Oceanographer who has led more than 50 expeditions, logged more than 7,000 hours underwater (which totals to around a year of her life) and discovered tens of thousands of species of aquatic life. She is the president of Mission Blue, an organisation that aims to establish marine protected areas around the world - and her message has never been so clear: we’re taking our oceans for granted. This December she’s releasing a new book as a National Geographic explorer: Ocean: A Visual Odyssey, uncovering the science of the oceans.
